This new place is not a normal museum. It has moving lights, sounds, and pictures. People can walk inside and see things change around them. It is made to be a fun and new way to enjoy art.
Sheikh Khaled said that this shows how Abu Dhabi wants to be a world leader in art, culture, and new ideas. He said the UAE wants to help people be more creative and learn more. He also said this new place helps bring people together through art and technology.
The opening was a big event. Many important people came. A famous piano player from Italy named Ludovico Einaudi played a song made just for the event. In the sky, 6,000 drones flew together to make shapes, and there were fireworks too.
Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, the head of the Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi, said this new place is very special. He said it gives people a chance to see art in a whole new way. He is happy to bring this idea to life with help from the art group teamLab.
The person who started teamLab, Toshiyuki Inoko, said the art in this place is alive. It changes when people walk by. If no one takes care of the place, the art can disappear. He said the art is part of nature and the world around it.
This art space is 17,000 square meters in size. It was built by teamLab with the help of Abu Dhabi's culture team. The art mixes light, sound, science, and nature. The art is always changing, and every person sees it in a different way.
The place has two parts: Dry Zone and Wet Zone. In the Dry Zone, people can walk and see art that moves with them. In the Wet Zone, they go on a path into areas with water and light, where they can touch and feel the art.
This new teamLab building is now part of the big Saadiyat Cultural District, which will soon be the world’s biggest group of museums and learning centers. Other places in this area include Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Zayed National Museum, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi.
With teamLab Phenomena now open, Abu Dhabi is showing the world that it is a great place for art, learning, and fun.
